A few days after announcing its new Galaxy S smartphones, Samsung claims it has more than 20 million pre-orders.

According to the Korean Times Samsung received some 20 million pre-orders for the S6 and S6 Edge-15 million of S6 and five million of the S6 Edge from mobile carriers worldwide.

A Samsung executive said that this was a record. Shin Jong-kyunsaid: "To be honest, pre-orders for our two Galaxy variants from our major clients are really huge."

In view of market share loss in the high-end segment in 2010, Samsung intends to launch an aggressive promotional campaign, offering more incentives and benefits to carrier networks as well as consumers, before Apple launches its expected new iPhone later this year.

The Samsung Netherlands online store is the first to start pre-order for the Galaxy S6 and its curved screen variant, the S6 Edge.

The 32GB model of S6 costs €699 while the S6 Edge with similar storage capacity is priced at €849.

Samsung has now officially unveiled its two new Galaxy smartphones, the full-metal unibody Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3.

Claiming to be the thinnest smartphone on the market at 6.7mm for the Galaxy A5 and 6.9mm for the Galaxy A3, Samsung has decided to equip them both with 5-megapixel front camera. This has Wide Selfie, Animated GIF, Beauty Face and Palm Selfie features for all those who cannot survive ten minutes without snapping themselves doing something banal.

With 139.3 x 69.7 x 6.7mm dimensions, the Samsung Galaxy A5 is not a bad looking smartphone. It packs a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED screen, most likely with 720p screen, which could be the only bad thing on the smartphone, but only if you compare it to higher-end smartphones.

The Samsung Galaxy A5 is based on a yet to be detailed 1.2GHz quad-core chipset backed by 2GB of RAM. It has 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD card slot. The rest of the features include a 13-megapixel rear camera, LTE Cat 4 support, 2300mAh battery and runs on Android 4.4 with Samsung's own TouchWiz.

The Galaxy A3 is a smaller but thicker device with a 4.5-inch qHD Super AMOLED screen and 130.1 x 65.5 x 6.9mm dimensions. It also runs on, probably the same and unnamed, 1.2GHz quad-core chipset but with 1GB of RAM. It has 8GB of internal storage expandable via microSD card slot and features an 8-megapixel rear camera, 1900mAh battery, full set of connectivity including LTE Cat 4, and also runs on Android 4.4 Kitkat OS with TouchWiz UI.

According to Samsung, its new full-metal unibody Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 smartphones will be available in select markets including China from next month. Unfortunately, Samsung did not reveal any details regarding those markets or the price for these two new smartphones.

Coming as a result of nearly two decades of the design and manufacturing of graphics cards, Galaxy and its European brand KFA2 have announced the new global Galax brand. Promising to bring all the well known custom graphics cards and even more to the global marke, the Galax will definitely be an interesting new player on the graphics card market.

Originally founded in 1994, Galaxy, is well known as the designer and manufacturer of popular OEM-branded graphics cards for the mass market, as well as its enthusiast oriented custom Hall of Fame gaming graphics card series with custom white PCBs and impressive factory overclocks. We should not forget the great European KFA2 team, which brought all those great products to Europe.

The new Galax brand promises an all new level of global brand consistency and product availability as well as an ability to offer every customer in every market the same world class service and support along with access to GALAX’s entire product portfolio.

While talking to guys behind the new Galax brand, we were told to expect a quite aggressive approach to rather sleepy graphics card market and expect some great products starting with the newly announced Geforce 900 series as well as some upcoming factory-overclocked products like the new HOF Edition graphics card.

We will certainly keep an eye on the Galax as the global graphics card market definitely got a new and quite interesting new player.

Samsung US released a list of devices that will be getting Android 4.4 update a while ago. Today we have a list of international versions thanks to a Polish blog which shows the full list of Samsung smartphone which will get the much needed Android 4.4 Kitkat update. Unfortunately and quite strangely, the Galaxy S III is not on the list and it appears that it will not get the update.

Although both the Samsung Galayx Note II is on the list, which is practically based on the same platform, as well as the Galaxy Grand which has the same 1GB of RAM, it appears that Samsung has abandoned its previous flagship smartphone. The US version of the Galaxy S III will be getting the update as it has 2GB of RAM. This puts the Galaxy S III on the same list as the HTC One X which will stay on Android Jelly Bean OS.

Here is the full list of Samsung Android 4.4 Kitkat worthy smartphones:

Word on the street is that Samsung's long-rumoured Galaxy Note 3 Lite phablet will launch as Galaxy Note 3 Neo. According to a leaked internal product documents the Galaxy Note 3 Neo is a refreshed version of the Galaxy Note II launched in 2012.

The leaked internal documents suggest that the rumoured Galaxy Note 3 Neo will come with a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, an 8-megapixel rear camera and will pack a 3100mAh battery. Notably, the leaked documents claims that the device will include 2GB of RAM and 16GB inbuilt storage, similar to the Galaxy Note II.

According to GSMArena it will be powered by a 1.7GHz dual + 1.3GHz quad-core (Hexa) processor. In addition, the site claims that the alleged Galaxy Note 3 Neo will sport a faux-leather rear cover, first seen on the Galaxy Note 3. The rumoured phablet is also said to come with Multi-Window and Gesture support like the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4.

We already suspected that Samsung plans to unveil two new smartphones dubbed Galaxy Note 3 Lite, which now is seemingly confirmed as Galaxy Note 3 Neo and Galaxy Grand Lite, which was recently leaked as the Galaxy Grand Neo believed to be the affordable variants of Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Grand respectively, at MWC 2014.

Galaxy and its European counterpart, KFA2, have announced its new World Legendary OC Event that will kick off in Shanghai, China on 14th and 15th of December and bring some of the biggest names in the graphics card overclocking community.

KFA2/Galaxy are bringing 20 world's best OC guys from various parts of the world, that will go head to head and try to beat some of the current world OC records as well as join in for Charity free fight overclocking, LOL gaming contest and a lot of other events.

KFA2/Galaxy definitely managed to get some impressive names and we are sure you will recognize a couple of them from current overclocking records.

The Head of Samsung Mobile Communications, JK Shin, said that Samsung's next-generation smartphones will also feature a 64-bit support, according to a report from Korea Times.

The response obviously comes as a response to Apple's recent launch of the new flagship iPhone 5S, A7 64-bit chip and iOS 7 64-bit OS. While Samsung is still months away from releasing any new flagship smartphones. The 64-bit support for Samsung will most likely come in the form of earlier detailed ARM Cortex-A57 which is also a 64-bit design but at the end of the day, Apple managed to beat it to market.

Samsung's exec noted that such a device with such a chip would "not come in the shortest time" but "our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing capability". Most likely guess is that Samsung will bring it with its future Galaxy S5, Note 4 or other future flagship smartphones.

As expected and rumored earlier, during its pre-IFA 2013 press conference, Samsung has unveiled both the new Galaxy Note 3 flagship phablet as well as the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch that it markets as "the perfect companion to your Note 3".

Design wise, Galaxy Gear, thankfully, looks a lot better than earlier leaks, as it is not as bulky and uses chrome accents to at least give an impression of a quality device. The size of the Gear screen is 1.63x1.63-inch it features Super AMOLED 320x320 screen. The precise dimensions are 36.8x56.6x11.1mm and it weighs 73.8g.

In addition to obvious function as a watch, Galaxy Gear will work best with Galaxy Note 3 and, as expected, will only be compatible with "some" Galaxy smartphones, something that feel like it is taken from Apple's guidebook. Unlike earlier rumors, the Galaxy Gear does not work on Android and needs a connection to a Galaxy Device. It will work with Galaxy S III and S4, Note II and 3 as well as the new Note 10.1 also announced at IFA 2013. All older noted devices will need a software update. The main function of the Galaxy Gear is to show you incoming messages, such as calls, texts, emails and various alerts as well as deliver a preview of those messages.

It also comes with a rather unique Smart Relay feature that automatically transfers anything that is on the screen of the Galaxy Gear directly to Galaxy smartphone when you unlock it. Basically, if you are looking at a preview of a message and unlock your smartphone, that same message will be displayed on the phone. As expected, it will also feature S Voice commands that can be used to make a call and even speak via Galaxy Gear's built-in speakers and microphone located at the bottom of the strap. It also allows you to make Voice Memos, set alarms and basically anything that you might want to do via Voice commands.

The Gear also locks the smartphone automatically if you move it more than 1.5 meters away from your smartphone and even helps you to find it via Find My Device feature. It will also feature some expected health-tracking features with S Health app but will surprisingly lack a heart-rate monitor.

For now, Samsung has unveiled that the Gear is powered by an unknown 800MHz processor (we'll have to wait for iFixIt to tear it apart) paired up with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage as well as a 315mAh battery that is, according to Samsung, enough for more than a day on the go. The connection to the smartphone is handled via new power-efficient Bluetooth 4.0 LE. It also comes with a 1.9-megapixel camera that will be able to capture 720p video.

Galaxy Gear will be available later this month in most of the world while the US and Japan will have to wait until October. The price is set at US $299.

As you probably already know, Samsung is currently gearing up for its big "Unpacked 2013 Episode 2" event that will kick off in Berlin on September 4th, just a few days before the big 2013 IFA show opens its doors in the same city. The star of the new Unpacked 2013 event is the Galaxy Note III, a new Samsung flagship phablet.

According to SamMobile's insider sources, Samsung is apparently pushing hard in order to get the new Galaxy Note III to shelves in the same month as the announcement and is expected to ship in Week 36 which is from 2nd to 8th of September. Market availability usually comes a week later, mid-September currently sounds like the best bet.

Earlier details suggest that Samsung decided that 16GB of internal storage is just too low for current flagship so Galaxy Note III is expected to come with at least 32GB. Of course, nothing is certain until Samsung's Unpacked 2013 event kicks off on 4th of September.

According to SamMobile, Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch is expected to follow just a month later, or Week 40, which is 30th of September to 6th of October.

Samsung has just sent out invites for its Unpacked 2013 Episode 2 event that will kick off in Berlin on September 4th, just a few days before the IFA 2013 show opens its door in the same city.

In order to tease the invitees a bit more and add a clear hint of what to expect at the event, Samsung changed the standard "save the date" tagline with the "note the date" one. The new Galaxy Note III phablet has been filling the rumor pages for quite some time but none of them had a clear details regarding the screen size or the actual chipset that will be behind it. Most rumors point to a 5.7-inch screen, 3GB of RAM and either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset or Samsung's own Exynos 5420 Octa, or even both for that matter, depending on the region.

Samsung is going to livestream the even at its Youtube page but most of the hacks will already be coming to the IFA 2013 expo in Berlin so we are quite sure it will be quite a big event.
